Hello!

Thank you for the query.

The antibiotic effectiveness depends of the type of bacteria. Some bacteria can be treated with your antibiotic. Other will be resistant to it. So it is not a good idea to treat your cut without medical attention. Especially that there is a pus in the wound. It indicates an infection and does not sound like it is getting better.
That is why I suggest you to visit your doctor, have swab test done and get proper antibiotic for it.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
